@Jaesoof hmm, that's not a bad idea. How do you imagine it would work? Would you go up to a desk or something and then you get a code like "L314223"?
sure! it would give a use to the random objects around the house other than hiding behind them. i was thinking it could work like "L3 R2 L5 R1 L1" maybe something like that.
i think it would also add some risk - reward to it, you bump into some furniture, (boxes, table, desk, or chair) alerting the guards, for a small chance to get a safe code/key
@Jaesoof thanks for taking the time writing, it's a good idea! I'll see if I can get loose some tokens first to add it.
ok, take your time! i appreciate all of the work you put into your games!
Hello! My buddy showed me this game and I'm having a blast! I found a little bug it seems. On the previous stage one of my dudes were standing at a camera monitor when got caught, my other dude escaped. The next stage had multiple cameras and I can see their field of vision even though I'm outside the building. I have a screenshot too.
@Dukefazon Hi! I'm happy you like it! Thanks for the well explained bug report, I don't think I've actually tested that case specifically. How bad did it feel when it happened? Did you go "hmm, that's odd", or was it more like "Screw this, I don't trust this game anymore!" (I'm trying to figure out the bug's priority)
@ironchestgames It's not game breaking, it just showed me that I it was an easy level with no real valuables. I didn't play further because I'm hungry so I quit the next stage so I can't tell if the camera vision bug carries forward to other levels.
Hi! Found a new issue, I attached an image too, it's been spliced together from multiple screenshots. There are 3 door into the building, 1 was an electric door (south) and 2 were regular doors but you could only go through from inside the building because random trees were put in front of them. I was able to go out but they are blocking the way in. You might be able to tweak the randomizer not to create a scenario like this (luckily the window was an option to enter in the room with the safe).
@Dukefazon thanks again for the details! This is a known issue, and to save tokens I decided before to leave it as is. Quite a few people have had opinions on it tho, so it's always in the back of my head. The fun part is that you could still get in! :D
Awesome game! I don't mind some puzzles are un-solvable. It's part of the game to determine if a puzzle is unsolvable or too hard to solve. Cool game, well done!
@Puppyperson59 you have to have sound on, and then listen for the differences in the ticks... ;)
@sulai many thanks!
Could you include a spritesheet? I would like to play with the code a little bit. I tried doing it myself but it's proving quite difficult. Also, how did you make the sprite black with a transparent background?
Really my favorite game! Its really about speed, tactic and stealth just like in real robbery (i didnt robbed anything, just logik) on mobile its really not eazy, maybe some difficulty settings for level generation if you have left tickets?
And yea, my high score :)
@Linc Thanks for playing! If you have pico-8 you can export it yourself with the command "export spritesheet.png". The black is always the background, so cls(0) will still draw black even though it is set to be transparent in the sprites.
@JBotReality Oh! Nice highscore! And extra so with playing on mobile (I find it realllly hard to press the right thing when I'm trying to be quick.) I have exhausted my token optimisation knowledge on this game unfortunately, and I'm currently almost maxed out, only 8 tokens left.
Hey, @ironchestgames
Nice progress saving system, and very bad that tokens (i forgot how it called so in first comment i said tickets :P) limit is pushing you :( so, if you find out how to optimize that problem, good luck!
Fun fact, holding down the button to move is actually slower than if you were to spam. It’s not that much faster but it is noticeable.
Also my current best is day 85, haven’t got caught yet
EDIT I meant day 95
@ToxZc nYCE! quite a run you got going there! a real good amount of money you saved up, that's good work!
I really enjoy this one and its mechanics, but struggle with the end-game. The daily cost keeps going up, meaning even if you got diamonds on every level, you can't make back your daily costs. The cap on the amount of money you can earn (2¹⁵-1?) also spoils the late game.
So say I take a coding course on whatever coding language you used, would I have permission to mod the game so you can take out guards hitman style?
also 5974 pb
@Gumnos thanks for playing! I'm not currently developing this game so I probably won't do anything about it, but it's noted of I ever get back to it.
@MelsPablo knock yourself out! I probably can't help out, but would love to see anything you make!
One of the best stealth games i've ever played. bookmarking this
Hi @ironchestgames, this is a really great game!
I hope you don't mind:
I was able to use the 2nd argument of tostr to represent cash values as signed 32-bit ints, and replaced all cash values in the code with their minimum integral representations in hex (e.g. 100 represented as 0x0.0064) to increase the cash maximum to 2147483647.
This used few enough tokens that I was able to reclaim all of them (or more) simply by removing line 2030 (flooring loot values no longer needed for int) and lines 2040-2042 (handling values over 32767.. if anyone can get over $2.14M they deserve to see it roll over!) Note: The fields that display cash values are still visually limited to 5 characters, but some real estate in the top bar could be reclaimed by shortening "HIGHSCORE" to "RECORD" or "HIGH" or something
If I missed any of the loot values, they ought to be worth something astronomical...
Feel free to use my changes if you wish, with or without attribution.
Cheers!
@kozm0naut omg that's awesome!
I'm not actively developing this game now for a few years so it's not up to date with latest pico api changes, which I might do someday (planning is rough). This would be an awesome addition then! Superthanks!
I don't like how quickly the cops come. Also, the cop-alert thing seems like if anything sees you, even for an instant, then the cops will come quickly.

I got to day 100! Daily expenses are too high so I'm starting to lose money.
There's a bug where if you reset the cart the game crashes and freezes until you reload the page, I know the option to rat on each other basically counts as a reset but it gets pretty annoying after I keep pressing it by accident.
@Waterwool nice! yeah, I didn't mean for this game to be a commentary on rising living expenses but here we are. Thanks for commenting (and sorry about the late response!)
@Spacekiwi cool! it's always great to hear people playing this together! Thanks for commenting (and sorry about the late response!)
@MicroMilk Thanks for playing and commenting! That's good feedback, thank you!
